Rainbows!

Just how FANTASTIC are these? I stumbled upon these Rainbow Cupcakes today and I want so badly to make them because they look like so much fun! The youngest in my family is 19 (with the exception of my newborn cousin, Brett) and I think they'd be perfect to make with/for kids, but oh well. I guess I'll just have to make them for my own amusement :D


They'd probably look great in pastel blues and pinks for Easter...I think I just figured out what I'll be bringing for Easter dinner!

This was my first attempt at making red velvet (and also my first experience eating it!). It seemed to be so popular I figured I should finally try it myself and see what all the fuss was about.

Although it was quite tasty, I really don't think it lived up to the hype. To me it just tasted like a barely-chocolate-chocolate cake, plus all the red food coloring kind of put me off. I think next time I'm going to use the juice from muddled raspberries for colour (and flavor obviously!). I mean, how delicious is raspberry and chocolate together? Plus this way they're made with nothing artificial, which is what I want the core of TC to be.

Regardless, the cake was really moist and still had a lot of flavor. I topped off the little cakes with cinnamon cream cheese icing.
Thanks to Bakerella for the recipe!

My First Order!

I just dropped off my first order!
It was for 3 dozen, so I made 6 different kinds:

Vanilla Brownie Surprise! with Buttercream


Lemon with Blackberry Cream Cheese


Cinnamon with Nutella Buttercream


Chocolate Cherry-Filled Cinnamon Cream Cheese


Coconut with Raspberry Buttercream


Carrot with Cream Cheese


The best part was that I made about a dozen extras (for my boyfriend and I to nibble on, of course), and after covering them with cling wrap leaving them on the dining room table, we went to bed. Around 3am, I heard one of the cats playing with what I thought was a ball of paper, no biggie. Well he kept coming closer, and eventually jumped on the bed and dropped what he had on my leg. I thought to myself, "jeeze that's a lot heavier than a piece of pap...no...it can't be!" So I reached down and got a handful of icing and cupcake! The little bugger daintily unwrapped the tray (how I have NO idea), stole a cupcake from the corner and I swear to god started to pull off the liner to eat it. He even brought it to bed!!!
I take it as a compliment; my cupcakes are loved by even cats! ♥

Some REALLY Exciting News!

I have my first order! YAY!

It's for 3 dozen with a "do whatever you please" attached to it. I'm thinking of going all out and making 6 different kinds so people can get a little taste of a lot of flavors.

Well I have my day planned for tomorrow! I'm pumped! You bet I'll be documenting it all so keep your eyes peeled over the next week for all the tasty little treats I'm going to be pumping out.

Now off to the grocery store!...
